First Crossword Puzzle

On this day in 1913, the first crossword puzzle appeared in a supplement to the New York World. Since then, it has been delighting the analytical of mind...and befuddling me. (I am fairly sure my ineptitude with crosswords has prevented me from making the jump to Sudoku.)

Finally, we have a wonderful rental DVD that you should see: Wordplay. This documentary is to crosswords what Spellbound was to the spelling bee. Our library actually screened this film at one of our Le Petit Cinema events. Enjoy!
